Abstract
A fixture for holding and dispensing coiled sheet material, such as tissue paper or paper towels, is disclosed. A base mounts upon a mounting wall and is configured as a perimeter which surrounds a base opening. The base includes support arm mounts located on opposing sides of the base opening. Support arms attach to the support arm mounts and couple to the roll of sheet material to hold and aid in dispensing the sheet material. An insert is dimensioned conformal with and slightly smaller than the base opening. The insert fits through the base opening and extends into the interior of the mounting wall. A flange of the insert abuts against a portion of the base to prevent movement of the insert beyond the base. In addition, the support arms are dimensioned to overlie portions of the insert so that the insert is secured in position by being clamped between the base and support arms.
